Alimony - Not all alimony is permanent. Courts look at numerous factors, including the length of the marriage, the age and health of the parties, and future earning capacity, before deciding if alimony is appropriate, and for what period of time.

The team of lawyers and paralegals at Nadine Maleski, LLC are all collaboratively trained.

Collaborative divorce is an alternative to the traditional litigated divorce.  The parties sign a participation agreement with their respective divorce attorneys and agree to freely exchange information. In addition, the parties agree not to use court intervention during the process.   During the parties' collaborative divorce, the attorneys provide the names of other specially trained professionals to help resolve issues that may occur.  Such professionals may include divorce coaches, therapists, certified public accountants, financial advisors, and business and real property appraisers.

Collaborative divorce can provide advantages over a litigated divorce.  If the parties are willing to make concessions and are committed to settle, collaborative divorce often resolves the issues between the parties quicker and at less cost. The collaborative process also allows the parties to agree to their own timetable for their divorce process, and the parties craft their own settlement terms.  By working together to resolve their issues, the parties minimize antagonism, which makes joint parenting post-divorce less contentious.  Lastly, there are no public hearings so confidentiality of the divorce settlement is more easily maintained.
